The definition of “discovery” in law is the exchange of legal information and known facts of a case.
The discovery rule allows plaintiffs to extend the statute of limitations on the basis that they had not reasonably discovered that they had a claim in time to meet the deadline. In this situation, the three-year time frame would not start until someone reasonably concluded that the death was wrongful.

Unless agreed by the parties and with the permission of the court, all discovery shall be completed within 60 days of the demand, or 90 days of service of the summons and complaint, or counterclaim, or cross complaint, whichever is longer. This revision is advisable for several reasons.
You or your lawyer may file a motion for discovery to request that the state produce evidence it plans to introduce at trial. Your lawyer needs to know the type of evidence the state will use against you at trial so that they can properly prepare for your case.
Parties usually send their discovery requests and responses to the other party electronically, by email. But, parties may also send or respond to discovery requests by U.S. mail or a parcel service. Discovery requests and responses should not be sent to the Administrative Judge, except to support a motion.
